Fitting the Collar on Your Dog CAUTION To prevent irritation from the contact points, remove the collar for at least eight hours out of every 24-hour period. This device is not intended for human use. Do not attempt to use on any person. Do not spray the device or collar with harsh chemicals including but not limited to flea or tick spray. Always ensure that any flea or tick spray that is applied to the dog is completely dry before placing the collar on the dog. Small amounts of harsh chemicals can damage the plastic components and collar strap. In order to effectively train the dog, the collar and device must fit the dog properly. If the collar is too loose or positioned incorrectly, stimulation may be inconsistent. This can delay or prevent successful training. 1 Position the device at the front of the dog's neck, with the status LED facing toward the dog's chin and the contact points against the throat. 2 Tighten the strap so that it is very snug around the dog's neck, and fasten the buckle. NOTE: The collar should fit tightly and should not be able to rotate or slide on the dog's neck. The dog must be able to swallow food and water normally. You should observe your dog's behavior to verify that the collar is not too tight. 3 Wiggle the device to work the contact points through the dog's coat. NOTE: The contact points must have contact with the dog's skin to be effective. 4 If the strap is too long, cut off the excess, leaving at least 8 cm (3 in.) to spare. TIP: You can mark the hole used to fasten the buckle for future reference. Training Intensities and Methods You can use several methods to train your dog. The Delta SE system provides 10 stimulation intensity levels, which increase sequentially from 1 to 10. Momentary stimulation: Applies a brief stimulation when you press the training button, regardless of how long the button is pressed. Continuous stimulation: Applies stimulation to the dog the entire time you press the training button, for a maximum of 8 seconds. Your stimulations should typically be much shorter than 8 seconds. Tone: Activates an audible tone the entire time you press the training button, for a maximum of 8 seconds. A tone can be used as either a positive or negative training cue, depending on your training program. Vibration: Applies vibration instead of stimulation to the dog when you press a training button, for a maximum of 8 seconds. The effectiveness of vibration may vary based on the dog's temperament and experience. You can use vibration by setting the intensity level selection knob to V. Dog Training 9
